Hello,

The main purpose of setting a time is to have your tasks scheduled for a certain time. If your task isn't just something you can do at some point in the future, but an actual appointment, then it's useful to know that "Go to a meeting" is due "today at 2pm" and not just "today" at no particular time ;-)

Also, tasks with times always show up at the top of your list in date-based views. As for reminders - it's not entirely true because if you set a default reminder method in Settings -> Reminders on the web, then every time you set a task with a due time, it will get a "30 minutes before" reminder added to it automatically.

Best regards,
David

Thanks for the help, David.

Makes sense, like creating an event in a calendar and setting a reminder. I just hadn't made the connection.
